Walking Dead
Straight Line Stitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That deeply lies in the debris within me
I saw you lying on the floor the inside from your flesh was tore
And to myself I thought,
"Help me to help myself before I change into something else"
Everyday keeping this anger at bay
Staring at nothing there breathing the air of despair
I feel confined in this space where I do not have a place
I feel confined in this space where I do not have a face
Can I last much longer? inside there's such a hunger
Give me a resolution to rectify this condition
Like an embryo this feeling of hopelessness grows
Pull from the inside out something so minuscule
How could the world be so cruel?
How could the world be so cruel? How could I be such a fool?
How could the world be so cruel? How could I be such a fool?
I feel confined in this space as everyone walks without a face
The tears on my face show my pain as I pray for strength to restrain
I feel confined in this space as everyone walks without a face
The tears on my face show my pain as I pray for strength to restrain
to restrain...
The lyrics to Straight Line Stitch's "Walking Dead" explore intense feelings of anger, hopelessness, and confinement. The singer of the song experiences a deep conflict within themselves, battling against a perceived "heretic" element that lies within them. This struggle is evident in the vivid imagery of the chorus, in which the singer describes feeling confined and faceless in a world that seems cruel and indifferent.
Throughout the song, the singer grapples with overwhelming emotions and difficult experiences. They witness the aftermath of violence when they see someone "lying on the floor the inside from [their] flesh was tore." This violent image serves as a metaphor for the internal battle that the singer is fighting - a battle to resist changing into something darker and potentially dangerous.
Even as the singer struggles, they express a deep desire for resolution and hope. They long for a way to "rectify this condition" and to find a way to pull themselves out of the darkness that threatens to overwhelm them. The intensity of this struggle is reflected in the repetition of the refrain, in which the singer repeats the phrase "how could the world be so cruel?" as if searching for answers and understanding.
Overall, "Walking Dead" is a deeply emotional and powerful song that explores themes of internal struggle, violence, and the search for hope in the face of overwhelming darkness.
